Of course GPT-3 doesn't "understand" what you are doing. All it's doing is generating high probability text based on a huge training corpus. It's guessing what text will come next. That doesn't mean it understands jack squat. It's basically a parrot with a huge database. Polly want a program?

The fact that such a program is so hyped, is actually an indicator of how much boilerplate and wheel-reinvention goes on among programmers every day.

Microsoft spent a Billion dollars for an exclusive license of GPT-3, and now they want their return. Expect to see GPT-3 hyped on every platform (including Github).
